In addition to raising funds for the Girl Scouts, Stormi wanted to donate cookies to local foster children — because she is one. She went into Illinois’s foster care system about three years ago, her foster mother, Kim, told BuzzFeed, which did not use the family’s last name.

Attempts to reach the family through the Girl Scouts this week were unsuccessful.

BuzzFeed reported that Stormi decided to join the scouts last year; she recently told her foster mother that she wanted to give cookies to other children in the system.

But, her foster mother said, last month’s incident involving the neighbor was jarring.

“She was like, ‘Why am I not good enough?’” Kim told the news site. “We just started talking and she decided she wasn’t going to let him win.”

An LGBTQ support group in Idaho sent out a call for support, too. “While out selling cookies,” a member from Idaho Falls Gender Community wrote, Stormi “was met with negativity, no orders, and even one less than kind person. … As a parent, this made me angry. As a parent of transgender children, this made me livid!

“Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. … is not being honest with us girls, its troops, its leaders, its parents or the American public,” the teen said in a YouTube video, released by a Houston-based group called the “Honest Girl Scouts.” “Girl Scouts describes itself as an all-girl experience. With that label, families trust that the girls will be in an environment that is not only nurturing and sensitive to girls’ needs, but also safe for girls.”

In 2015, a Girl Scouts troop in Washington was handed a $100,000 donation — as long as the girls agreed not to use the money to support transgender children.

The Girl Scouts of Western Washington returned the check.

“Girl Scouts is for every girl,” Megan Ferland, the Girl Scout council’s chief executive, told Seattle Metropolitan over the summer. “And every girl should have the opportunity to be a Girl Scout if she wants to.”

As an organization, Girl Scouts of the USA supports LBGTQ children.

“Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority,” the organization said on its website. “That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.”

Kim told BuzzFeed the support motivated Stormi to fight back against discrimination.

“This is something I have been trying to instill in her for years,” Kim told the news site. “How worthy she is; who she is is okay. For her to be able to read all these messages that people are sending from around the world to support her, the love is just overwhelming.”
